Effect of METH on the morphology of midbrain nondopaminergic neurons. Cultures derived from postnatal VMAT2 +/+, +/− (data not shown), or −/− mice were exposed to 500 μm METH (B, D) or vehicle (A, C) for 7 d and immunostained for GABA. In these cultures, the nondopaminergic neurons are nearly all GABAergic. METH exposure had no significant effect on neurite length or on the number of GABAergic neurons. Scale bar, 50 μm (n = 12).
